On a long-distance bus from Pretoria to the Beitbridge border post, the conductor makes his passengers an irresistible offer: he can help them extend their stay in South Africa beyond the 90-day legal limit - for a small fee. Many of his passengers are undocumented foreign nationals who should be on their way back to Zimbabwe. Instead, they’ll pay the fee to obtain a new 90-day stamp and “legally” remain in the country. Many of them won't even stand face to face with the customs official who stamps their passports. On these long-distance buses, this practice - called buying days - is common, as bus drivers and Home Affairs officials line their pockets at the expense of those desperate to remain in South Africa. Carte Blanche investigates.

@@carteblanchetv even here where am staying, they pay. They go to Johannesburg and give someone
Just sickens me to the pit if my stomach that these people are so blaz^e about their illegal activities. Shes on a visitors permit yet shes hot a stall selling like a hawker? Ah, ah,ah. Our previous government has a lot to answer for. They just sat on the gra vy train and let corruption run rife. If there aren't enough staff to manage all the orders, close some. Reshuffle these corrupt officials. Close that bosman bus stop. Let them find another means to play their easy money making illegal corrupt schemes. Disgusting that they are so shameless telling of their exploits. No wonder we get called a banana republic. Now all I can pray for is that our new ministers sees all of this and start doing arrests of these corrupt birder personnel. Our country is being drained dry by these illegal thieving corrupt individuals. Please new GNU ministers do something speedily. Thank u Carte Blanch for ur fearless investigative journalism.
I'm so worked up. Pardon the typos. Lol
You know very well that people buying days is just scratching the service of what's going on at at that border. This story seems as though is more of a distraction to pull people's attention away from the huge and very dangerous syndicates that are controlling what, not who, goes over the bridge. Politicians, officials, businessmen and gangsters have wonderfully lucrative relationships whilst the clearing guys help with the paperwork. Everybody wins, except the tax payer of course.
@carteblanchetv
As south African am ashamed, our country is rotten , thank you . carte Blanche, for making us aware of our country corruption
Thank the anc for all the job losses due to corruption just look at our borders with corup government officials that are milking the poorest of the poorof just to enrhic themselves the sad story is that these corup officials alway admit that they are working on the problem but yet nowing is done to who the corup officials are nothing get done

@@mahafrika7116 no MCd in zim bro dont lie. But as u can see he works at a carwash so exposure is really not that high for him. He gets in a taxi to work thru the tunnel and past mcdonalds *repeat everyday. There are some people from zim that hv never seen a mukuku such that they think people lie that south africans hv mkuku and bath from a dish in the kitchen bedroom toilet
Govin has been doing a FANTASTIC job and is such a great asset to the tem! Keep it up man!
Can we acknowledge that a Zimbabwean is at the core of this investigation. Not just the undocumented people
They're the majority of foreigners in the country. I know Lesotho people also do this but it's a small number compared to Zims.
Plus they know that border intimately because it's theirs this was filmed outside the border on our side they don't allow cameras on the facility I'm sure there's more to be seen with other types of border stuff but it's not a story worth telling without the video
@@khathutshelomatlou9712 why Zimbabweans only yet this is rampant across all entry points into SA by foreign nationals ! Do you have the statistics to back up your claim on Zimbabweans vis a vis other foreigners

It is ANC which endorses suffering in Zim
I hope the Minister of Police will see this episode he is hard at work I trust him, Carte Blanche we thank you ❤
The Minister of Police will do something?? With what resources?
Thankfully Cele is history
@@viewsfromsouthafrica12 let's make sure this video reaches him and many South Africans on all social media,even Ramaphosa must see this and Limpopo minister Ramathuba
He won’t do anything this corruption has been going for over 80 years. Someone told me his father came to south Africa in the 1930s via this same route and guess what there was corruption even in those days.
hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. "I trust him" ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
One, of the best ones yet. Keep it up team. Well done 👏 . Push forward. Expose the truth.
Corruption is the order of the day in SA,what a shame.
Real shame!!!
What is better, for them to buy days and be in the country legally or for them to be in the country illegally totally and unaccounted for? Fact of the matter is ryt now Zimbabweans are not living South Africa any time soon. Ramaphosa has coupled with Mnangagwa in SADC and have endorsed each other, that is where the bigger corruption starts.
I have to agree with you there. I think "buying days" is the lesser of the two evils opposed to risking being in the country without valid documentation.
Yes you are right
If they bought the days and the money went to Treasury, I don't see a problem with that, but the money is going into border officials pockets.
South Africa has had an open border policy for years that's just the reality, at this point immigration should probably be charging for those days extension formally.
Home Affairs should charge the foreigners the same rate for staying in the country. Use it to fund the NHI
foreigners must just go
That sounds smart but it’s actually a very uniformed take, foreign nationals pay visa fees and are taxed just like you if they work or on any purchase they make. Foreign nationals students bring in money from their countries to study here, school fees, rent, transportation fees, all coming from their respective countries.
Are you insane
OP, I get your point, but it's still wrong. Yes, I know you might say to yourself, "but they're doing the same anyway, so what's the point?". The point is that what they're doing is wrong, coupled with the fact that the citizens & the overstretched limited resources, bear the brunt of the influx of illegal foreigners from all walks of life.
@@JohanLiebert98what about illegal foreigners? Do they bring money and pay tax?
I love the lady’s last statement, “What should I do” it’s an honest question because Zimbabwe is the way it is because it’s enabled by the ANC hence Zims will always travel here because they can make money here. Yes it’s wrong and all but foreigners, illegal or legal, will never leave South Africa because the Law is just a suggestion here!
People from this country are stopped by law to operate the same businesses foreigners occupying And We can't even get a simple permit! If you think it a Criminals Paridise, it won't be long till residents rise up!
At some point Zims must take accountability for their part in their countries downfall and stop bewailing lack of assistance from others. The sanctions have now been lifted, we don't see Zims in the diaspora flocking back to build their own country.
@@mosawamorena7707blame Mugabe he made this all happen
@@mosawamorena7707 ZanuPF just like the ANC will never let go of power, they protect each other. Lifting sanction means nothing because their government, just like ours, is not interested in developing the country. No amount of voting will help them because they rig votes, just like the ANC
@@mosawamorena7707 the problem you are not a Zimbabwean , its not like we enjoy being treated like cows the way we see zimboz being treated in s.a zimbabweans are cursed and are suffering because of what happened in 1999 when black people took land from white to black this has caused a lot of sabotage to businesses hence economically the country is struggling . Politicians and their close allies are taking advantage of this to loot now ordinary zimbabweans are suffering cause there is no proper administration of resources hence economoc failure . Now all zimbabweans are forced to look for alternative to survive they are in evrynation doing what they can to survive . Zimbabweans are all over the world even in war infested regions u will find them there trying to keep up wth the hardship .
I know its easy for a lot of people to blame zimbabweans bt a lot of people here wld have done samething to survive .

It's a political issue in zim and sa
Why?😭😭 sell your country to the lowest bidder? Look at the rot, Home Affairs workers should be arrested.
Remember one of the SA presidents said "there is no crisis in Zimbabwe", now here are the results.
It's been going on for years indeed and Lesotho border too. Home affairs & border officials are the worst corrupt

Zimbabweans want to follow the law when it comes to immigration but the South African systems make it impossible to do so. Imagine some people applied for permits in 2019 but up to now the permits are still not yet out. That's very unfair.
a permit is not a right , you have rights in your own country where you are a citizen
@@pradomoviesyou are actually very right. My people are so desperate to pay for the luxury of staying in South Africa every ninety days (for years).
Paying to work and live. It’s akin to top up for a life.
Reminds me of that Justin Timberlake movie, In Time. Personally, let me just try make life work in Zim… Kodwa kunzima🙂↔️
They are not entitled to any permit or anything.
@@sanelemwelase no they are not. But it is an administrative task. One that allows for tracking your economic forces and adequate allocation of human labor and a clampdown of vices.
Don’t let your disdain for the other cloud your strategic motion as a nation (although the current status quo creates a subjugation, ergo cheap labor. Which drives profits for your commercial entities. However consequently, it also leaves gaps for vices to thrive).
@@pradomovies The way you see things is the reason why there are many undocumented persons in the country. Is it not better to document them because in the end people will find ways to get to where they want.
The government of South Africa has requirements that they have set for anyone who wants to migrate into South Africa, why do they not respect their own laws or requirements. South Africa like any other country, they are not an island. There are South Africans in other countries including Zimbabwe. They should treat any immigrant the same way they expect to be treated.
There must be a 6 months cooling off period for this tourist visa. You can just go in and out.
Please!
😂😂😂😂😂
Border towns would suffer
What can we do it's the government we chose after all,and the foreigner laughing at us
Well the CEO of BMA knows every thing but seems very powerless😢
If the minister can be hands on, may be things will be better. Corruption officials should dealt with accordingly. They should be patriotic not selfish
Thankfully we now have a new minister of home affairs. Let's see how he tackles this...
What happens here is the same as at Lesotho and Swaziland borders. Some of the domestics/blue collar workers employed in SA use the same system...you'll be surprised what you'd find if you investigate.
Amazing work! I'm glad the sources to our daily life issues are being addressed.
I used to think that such official resort to bribes because they don't earn enough, now I realize that its just creed. Pure creed
the CEO knows about this corruption very well and maybe he also benefit from it, he is not even shock by the evidence shown to him.
Stru, I was shocked that he was talking about lack of capacity, that was some excuse really, I'm truly saddened by lack of patriotism from our own people 😢
Mara what must she do vele😂😂😂She is a victim of circumstance. Even you and I given a chance we were all going to do it.
I don't blame these people, all this is allowed by our laws.

Not by laws, by law enforcers!
Not the law it's allowed by corrupt officials
Finally someone who understands that it’s the system we must fight not the products of the system.

Our brothers from Zim need to be serious about their situation. Political mobilization needs to be aligned with Intelligence and militant arms. It's so odd that amongst the successful and skilled Zimbabweans with power to organize and fund these arms, are not trying anything. At least to my knowledge. There are acturies, Dr's, Influential athletes, entrepreneurs all accepting their fate, disintegrating their immediate families to flourish in foreign lands. Leaving behind A rich, beautiful and historic country that just needs a disciplined revolution. Without mentioning politicians South African academics, professionals and artists such as Makeba were winning Grammys yet constantly reminded the world the main goal is to go back home. They funded the revolution. Stop debating, arguing points of view, analysis, charts and angles. There's no peaceful transfer of power... South Africa fooled the world thinking peaceful transition exists, we just prolonged a civil war. We put war numbers up in terms of daily murders and consume alcohol like a post war country. Not to glorify that but we fought for our dignity and home alas with its ills is a beautiful country. Stop talking and start organizing.
As hard as it might be to understand, Zimbabweans are under a dictatorship of ZANU Pf and they are powerless to do anything. People think that they don’t vote right but this is not true. They have been voting for the opposition but the government has become so brazen in the way they steal /rig the elections. Zimbabweans are not even allowed to hold peaceful protests. Several organisations had planned to have demonstrations during the SADC summit on 17 August 2024. A week before that there was an insane number of soldiers and Riot Police deployed across the country. Several people were abducted at night and others arrested and are still detained, charged with “plans to incite violence “. Some people were arrested whilst busy braaing and drinking. You cannot reason with these people and several are poisoned whilst in prison. There are freedoms entrenched in the constitution but in reality there are none. Zim has no more rule of law as Mnangagwa said, “we are the police, we’re the army and we’re the judiciary “ Night abductions are frequent and sometimes you never find the bodies. So the truth is people feel powerless to do anything and they fear for their lives and those of their families. People want to stay in their country but the way things are make them desperate to seek refuge elsewhere. What the reporter said though is very true” This is unsustainable” Zimbabweans need to come up with a different solution because ZANU will never surrender power peacefully.

Very profound indeed however challenges are on where to source arms,where to train as mobilization of people really won't be a mission aswell as who could be willing to train those guys...

100% true.
Even people from Lesotho they are doing the same thing to get their days in South Africa but with them they pay r400
Whats sad is you'll never be able to do that in another country.😒
You're wrong. They do exactly the same thing in Mozambique. There are many South Africans living there beyond the 90 day visa. I would guess the same is true for other SADAC countries.
Khabazela do you have a passport? Does it have stamps on it? Corruption is endemic. In countries that are ‘fantastically’ corrupt like Mzansi its also systemic & institutionalised. How many people take stationary from work, use work resources, offer “cold drink” money to cops and other officials to expedite or get out of a sticky situation? How many sockets disappear? How many tender-prenuers give 10%? It’s not time to feel sorry & be a victim, woe is me. It’s time to fix root causes not be affronted by 1 of many manifestations of its symptoms.
@@wayne6512 really? My bad.
When the bribe is high enough, and you find the "correct" (corruptable) person, than you can do that in any country.

Police minister must be from ACTION SA. As long as ANC is heading that portfolio, expect nothing
@@aarongunnz9513Yes!💯
It doesn’t matter what political party the minister of police is from. He’s giving orders but he’s not enforcing. If the rot is deep it will continue. If ActionSA can get rid of all the corruption then so be it.
Hope is not a strategy. People like setting themselves up for failure, disappoint me again Mabena. Tinkering around the edges whilst Rome burns. This thing is much more complex than many ausi Angie’s graduates can appreciate. In what planet, how does a party like Action SA with 1% of the vote fix anything or be given a mandate over a portfolio of consequence? They will just continue to be political flame throwers, pointing out symptoms and throwing some red meat to the base to feed the hate but outcome dololo.

Corruption is rife at all government departments in South Africa. Authorities are fully aware of this . They definitely have a hand in this shameful behavior that's why nothing is stopped. No law and order
As an employee of the state you take an oath to serve and protect your country. But what these officials are doing is despicable. We can blame government whatsoever but corruption starts with an individual. Black people cry the loudest but they are the one's who are selling their own country. And yet if things go bad we don't have anywhere to go.

It won't work were there is a will there is always a way.if we put you to work at the border today,in just a few months you will be the next corrupt border official again.the money they are getting is very tempting.imagine stamping passports for maybe 10000 rands per day and your salary is just 15 000 per month obviously you will risk it and give in to the temptation.corruption is a very serious worm to deal with.and i think they should just make it easy for the foreigners to apply and get visas it will reduce this corruption at the borders
I’ve been to these borders too in transit as a South African, and I think confronting one person is actually a joke and useless.. it’s a system that needs to be confronted. Clearly this is a norm and a daily routine to everyone in these parts. To give you context, South Africans are always a minority when traveling through these borders in buses or flights going north or south ( Zim/ Zambia/ Tanzania/ Botswana/ Namibian/ Mozambique, Malawi..
Its always Zimbabweans hayi. They are even laughing
It just shows how things have changed . 30 years ago, this would never ever have happened

Malema said thy have to open all borders, I just wish this people can come to close to his house and see how he feels
He said for economic trade he didn't literally mean that you just choosing to be ignorant
As a South African, you must learn and understand the purpose of a fence and gate. They aren't there for decoration purposes. Once you understand what those things are for, you understand the purposes of borders and the decarmation of countries. When you have failed to decarmate your home, it's very irresponsible and displays a lack of accountability and responsibility. This is because any unoccupied area is seen by any creature to be freely available for anyone and anything. The law enforcement authorities and your own leaders that you have voted for and gave the power to make decisions are doing what you voted for. You still voted for them even after years of disappointment. You can't expect anything to change when you yourself can't change your decisions. Is it fair to expect something from others when you have also failed to give it?
This common problem is happening in every South African border worse at Komatipoort Border
Corruption is now our DNA Southern Africa!!
People will buy days because of different situations. After this documentary believe me not the price of extending days will go up. People will go back to the river again. Migration can be controlled by solving the problems which are forcing people to migrate. Arrest the push factors which are causing people to migrate the problem will be easily solved.
when you pay a foreigner ANY MONEY be it a wage or a salary that money is disappearing out of the country and not being circulated in amongst our people. When we have tourists VISITING our country they leave money behind at hotels , returants , car guards and tourists places which creates jobs for us, enabling us as south Africans to start thriving. we should be welcoming these tourists with a frikken red carpet to come here safely. the Zimbos who are extracting our money need to be stopped at all costs. this is economics 101! this current government knows that once people are empowered on their own they'll quickly realize they don't need the government for anything and they'll be thrown to the kerb, so they keeping everyone in poverty with this situation as they still can be in power
I must say, even after watching this video, I still admire the car wash guy, and the lady selling fruits and vegetables, these people pose now threat.
These are the kind of people that really need to be assisted to be in our country.
I just love them, true hustlers.
I just wish there government should allow them to pay those money directly into the BMA and cut the middle as a way to eliminate corruption.
I don't think you understand the concept of a country. Those people you admire are a burden on the SAn Govt and taxes we pay. They are also a burden on poor SAns who have to compete with them for space on public hospitals, schools, etc.
SA has millions of poor SAns that it must look after. It does not have resources to look after millions of informa traders from neighbouring countries.
Understand how countries are run before you promote anarchy at the expense of SAns.
Strange why the this lousy government doesn't put cameras
SHAMELESSLY ARROGANT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENING IN EVERY SECTOR OF THE SOCIETY,
Dear Carte Blanche, i think the narrative you have put across is somehow imbalanced because you didn't cover both sides of the story. Yes people do that and pay a bribe to get an extension because there is a very limited amount of days they are given to be in the country and see if things can work out for them and explore opportunities available. Why cant the government extend the temporary visa period to stop all this. And since South Africa also needs skilled labour why cant they take an approach like how the west does it so that they can retain skilled people rather than an approach which chases away foreign labour. At the border poster even if you go straight the officials themselves will not even give you the standard 90 days when you do the right thing. 90 days has become a special privilege for those that can pay for it, of which this is the root of the entire problem. Its unlike at the airport whereby if you come in they automatically give you the standard 90 days without any questions asked. As for the border there is so much more at play than what you have covered and I think your story needs a pt2 with an in-depth understanding of the situation.
@@ItsTimeZAthey're on it's visitors visa which is three months, not work visa. And you think what those people are doing is skilled labour? Street vending, car washing and eating McDonald's🤨. People with skilled labour come to South Africa because there's already a job waiting for them, mainly because they applied online and met the requirements for a job. Stop supporting these people what they're all doing is wrong, including the border officials.
but what we saw is not skilled people.
They're not on a work visa, but visitors visa which is 3 months. Also what skilled labour?, street vending and car washing, you call that skilled labour. People who are skilled come here because there's already a job waiting for them, since they've applied online and met the requirements. Stop defending wrong doings.
And also everywhere around the world, 90 days is the maximum days anyone gets if passport holders from a certain country are favoured by the host country. American and European countries have 90 days visa when coming to south Africa as well which many other African countries don't have with south Africa. It's only sadc countries.
So they give them say 12 days instead of 90 days so that they come back to buy the days ?
I don't know what will help South Africa. Everything is just going side ways. I bet nothing will happen to those offers.
Dr Mike Masiapato is quite an honest and intelligent man, the way he spoke here shows great deal of honest
THE HOME OFFICE MINISTER'S RESPONSE IS GOING TO BE DIGITALISE, WHILST DOING NOTHING ELSE IN THE INTERIM..
Digitization is a solution, sometimes not everything should be announced to make investigations more effective. Give him time the rot won’t disappear overnight.
As usual .. after 30 years the ANC appointed officials talk the same talk 😂😂😂😂😂..In other words everyone must eat .This boy even laugh when ask why is he putting our country at risk.He simply reply everyone does it.That is how the world laugh at us
This is why Gayton got sport 😂😂😂😂 if theyd given him this as he wanted too many would have been affected. They should be in prison for a long long time. All of them.
It's like buying airtime they can afford it they get water and electricity and schooling and medicines for free .
I feel very little remorse for a depolitisized group of cowards who have no interest in challenging the regime but rather would run across the border to corrupt and overburden the system. Abahambe.
Go and challenge them yourself 😂😂😂
